Hi Folks, OK there has been enough discussion here. It's time to VOTE for a new IPMC chair and it looks like the remaining folks (including me) that were in the running have aligned beyond the following nominee: Jukka Zitting. Suffice to say, he was *my first choice* :)
In the interest of moving the current discussion matters forward, please VOTE on this recommendation to the board by the IPMC. I'll leave the VOTE open for at least the next 72 hours: [ ] +1 Recommend Jukka Zitting for the IPMC chair position. [ ] +0 Don't care. [ ] -1 Don't recommend Jukka Zitting for the IPMC chair position because... Note that only VOTEs from the Incubator PMC members are binding, but all are welcome to voice their opinion and it will be recorded in the final tallies. Finally, just to note, these VOTEs on personnel are normally the only thing in Apache that is discussed in private (human/social issues), but in the interest of openness and transparency that has been demonstrated here during these discussions, I will hold this VOTE on the public list. Thanks! Cheers, Chris P.S. Here's my +1. Thanks buddy. On Feb 8, 2012, at 3:11 PM, Benson Margulies wrote: > I am happy to step out of the way for Jukka.
